The Big Ten has been on a roll of late and on Friday evening, Ohio State jumped into the mix with the commitment of top-100 wing Musa Jallow. A culture setting commitment for first year head coach Chris Holtmann, Jallow will also reclassify into the 2017 class and suit up for the Buckeyes this winter.

While his shot making from outside of 15-feet remains a work in progress, one thing that Jallow should be able to do next year is defend and produce through his sheer effort.

A 6-foot-5 small forward that can create for others whenever the chance is allotted, Jallow is a smooth athlete that doesn’t mind contact. Capable of guarding more than one position on the floor, Jallow's greatest value is his defensive versatility. Capable of sitting down and guarding a top scoring wing, he also has the length and strength to guard smaller power forwards in college.

One recent D1 pledge that initially flew under our radar was that of Loomis Chaffee post-graduate Jesus Cruz to Fairfield.

Cruz put up huge numbers playing in a small high school in Florida but also has the benefit of international experience after competing with the Puerto Rican national team.

He made a quick splash for Loomis Chaffee this year as his perimeter size and athleticism allowed him to more than hold his own as Loomis took on a very competitive pre-season schedule. As the season went on he continued to establish himself as one of the team's primary scoring threats. While he was undoubtedly at his best off the dribble, it was his ability to also knock down open shots that was perhaps the most pleasant surprise.

Las Vegas: Matt Mitchell not far from decisionLAS VEGAS - Former Cal State Fullerton signee Matt Mitchell is close to choosing a new school. Scout caught up with the 2017 prospect to discuss his recruitment.

After signing with Cal State Fullerton in the fall, Matt Mitchell received a release from his Letter of Intent in the spring and now is in the process of choosing a new college.

The 6-foot-6, 215-pound 2017 small forward from Corona (Calif.) Roosevelt has gotten into significantly better shape in recent months while improving his skill level, showing the ability to hit open shots, while getting to the basket and playing competitive defense.

“I feel like this summer I excelled doing the things I was doing during the high school season,” Mitchell said. “I’ve been fine tuning that heading into college.”
